Underneath all we are taught, there is a voice that calls to us beyond what is reasonable, and in listening to that flicker of spirit, we often find deep healing.This is the voice of embodiment calling us to live our lives like sheet music played, and it often speaks to us briefly in moments of deep crisis.Sometimes it is so faint we mistake its whisper for wind through leaves.But taking it into the heart of our pain, it can often open the paralysis of our lives. . . . the best chance to be whole is to love whatever gets in the way, until it ceases to be an obstacle.
I have a dream
- of people recognizing the giftedness uniquely theirs,
- of people standing tall in their gifts and using them to enrich the lives of others;
- of people coming to a deeper union of God dwelling within them and a deeper communion with one another.
- of peace and harmony reigning -- for power would be in docility to expressing one's gifts ...
I have a dream
- of a people drawn together out of a shared vision, a new way of living together,
- of each individual in their rightful place based on gifts,
- of men and women standing side by side serving together to bring peace and justice to the city,
- of a society based on deep trust that within each person
- is a well of goodness, beauty and truth longing to express itself for the good of all ... and in freeing this inner well, an ocean of love that could fill the world.
